Katana Polishing in British Columbia Canada

[slayersjoker]

Hello.

I have a gunto from 1943 made by South Manchurian Railway Co.

The sword is not in a bad shape, but its hamon is almost gone, and there is a small chip on the blade.

The cutting edge is not as sharp.

Fortunately, I heard this person "Takeo Seki" is a fully qualified polisher in the west coast of Canada; however, I could not find his contact info at all.

Could anyone provide me with the person's contact information?

Thank you in advance.

@slayersjoker - I second the request for photos of your Mantetsu!  I live for getting one more blade in the charts and files!  Please include both sides of the nakago, plus the full serial number on the back edge.

I reside in B.C. and own a nihonto that needs polishing. May I also get some help getting in touch with Takeo Seki? Thank you.

Takeo SEKI may not want to polish it since it is not traditionally forged. Then I would ask Woody Hall in Nevada or Benson in Hawai.

Woody is limiting his showa to  polish

Not that I should be speaking for him, it would have to be something spl me thinks

Thanks for sending me Seki-san’s email. FYI, he advised that he’s not accepting new polishing jobs at this time.
